1 · What the graph read from it

What it found

Each row is one number read from the abstract, on the scale the paper reported it, with its interval. Left of the dashed line favours the treatment, right favours the comparator. Under each row is the sentence it came from. New to these charts? A ten-minute tutorial.

The abstract states no effect estimate the extractor could read, or names no intervention and outcome on the map, so this paper lights no cell and moves no belief. It is still indexed, cited and linked below.

2 · The registry

The trial behind it

Trials whose registry record cites this paper, or whose number appears in the abstract. A trial that started after this paper was published is citing it as background, not reporting it.

Neither the registry nor the abstract names a trial number. If this is a trial report, that itself is worth knowing.

Abstract

background and purposeBaicalin has been reported to have anti-inflammatory effects and protect against various tissue injuries. However, the effect of baicalin on air embolism-induced acute lung injury has not been tested yet. EXPERIMENTAL APPROACH: Acute lung injury was induced by infusion of air at a rate of 0.25 mL.min(-1) for 1 min into the pulmonary artery of rat isolated lungs. At the end of the experiment, samples were collected for assessment of lung injury, biochemical analysis and histology. Different doses of baicalin (1, 2 and 4 mg.kg(-1)) were given into the perfusate before air infusion. KEY

resultsAir embolism elicited a significant increase in microvascular permeability (K(f)), lung weight gain, wet/dry weight ratio, pulmonary artery pressure and protein concentration in the bronchoalveolar lavage fluid. Levels of the cytokines, tumour necrosis factor alpha and cytokine-induced neutrophil chemoattractant-1 in perfusate, and malondialdehyde levels and myeloperoxidase activities in lung tissue were also significantly increased. In addition, histological examination showed increased neutrophil infiltration in lung tissues. Furthermore, nuclear factor-kappaB activity and degradation of IkappaB-alpha were significantly increased in lungs. Pretreatment of the lungs with baicalin (4 mg.kg(-1)) showed a statistically significant difference in all of the assessed parameters, except for alteration in the pulmonary artery pressure. CONCLUSIONS AND IMPLICATIONS: Our study suggests that baicalin attenuated air embolism-induced acute lung injury and may be considered a useful adjunct drug therapy in this clinical condition.
